Summary
Pía Baltazar is an intermedia artist-composer and arts-sciences development director with over two decades crafting hybrid performances and installations that fuse sound, light, wind and custom-built interactive apparatuses. Rooted in philosophy and interdisciplinary research, her practice interrogates perception, temporality and embodiment while producing lightweight technological systems for site-specific diffusion. She has led research programs (GMEA’s Virage), co-developed the ossia score sequencer UI since 2012, taught creative coding at Université Toulouse - Jean Jaurès, and recently directed research-creation initiatives at SAT Montreal. As a longtime freelance interactive designer she combines hands-on expertise in Max, C++, openFrameworks, OSC and embedded systems with a strong sensibility for gestural interaction and spatialized sound. Notably, her work balances rigorous academic inquiry with playful material experimentation and a commitment to reducing the carbon footprint of distributed artistic collaboration.
